Need some Perspective.

[swestrup]

Notwithstanding warnings about the Total Perspective Vortex, I sometimes think I would be much happier if I had a better sense of perspective. (This comes from watching a TV show that seemed to feature a bunch of miserable people with really nice houses -- I actually found myself envying some of them at one point.)

Now... it strikes me as a bit scary that I heard the total perspective vortex part of the HHGG on my way home from work today. And then you mention it.

Good thing I know there's someone out to get me. Otherwise I'd be paranoid ;-)

a bunch of miserable people with really nice houses

What would you prefer? To be miserable in a nice house? Or be nice in a miserable house?

Exactly. Before I came to my senses, it seemed I'd prefer to be miserable in a nice house.
